Prevalence and Incidence of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Denmark. A National Register‐Based Open Cohort Study
The prevalence of ADHD has consistently increased throughout the past two decades. The main contribution to this increase is the ADHD incidence in females, especially young females in the most recent years 2020-2022. Methylphenidate was consistently the most common ADHD drug prescribed, though lisdexamphetamine use has increased in recent years.
